Captain Of The Black Gate

Shadow of mordor AU where everything is the same except Celebrimbor is less of a knock off Peter Jackson! Elrond and a little more fun and all he does is talk about his Dwarven Husband Narvi, how much his aunt is gonna kick his ass and his cool cousins Elrond and Gil Galad and how much of an asshole his dad was and how nice it is that Talion is such a cool dad before .... well.... everything happened

HAPPY OCTOBER 24TH, EVERYONE!!!!

Bringing this back, even if I am a half hour late.

No one: Literally nobody: Not one single person: Celebrimbor: The  PalanTIR!!!

Me

Petition to get everyone from Gondor some therapy

...I know better than to argue.

Believe me, I could have done with less closeness.

So could I. Thankfully it wont have to be repeated.

No it most certainly will not.

Believe me, I could have done with less closeness.

Making decisions on your own was never your specialty. I can be trusted and Annatar wouldn’t have harmed him.

You are the least trustworthy person I know. And I say that only because I don’t know Annatar personally.

I didn’t suffer through apologizing to you so I could earn that title. You are too quick to judge.

Too quick to judge? The last time I trusted you, I was left to die and ended up becoming one of the Nine. I think my skepticism is more than justified.

I apologized for it. You left me no other choice, I gave you the chance to help with my plan and you refused.

Your plan was lunacy!

MY PLAN WAS PERFECT AND IT WOULD HAVE WORKED. The Bright Lord would have ruled.

So you admit that you refused to trust me even before I left you for the dead.

If you trusted me, you would have helped with my plan. I never hid what I was. You betrayed me and I did the same to you.

I never betrayed you. I told you that you were wrong, as a friend is supposed to do. The only one who committed a betrayal is you.

It’s nice to see you, as well. *smiles and ruffles his hair*

Not a word I usually apply to Caragors...but I suppose they have their moments.

...Really? I mean, they looked scary at first, but they’re actually super nice! They let me pet them and everything! Mr. Brightlord Celebrimbor sir and Mr. Annatar say the prefer orcs to eat.

Let’s just say I’ve had some...less than pleasant experience with caragors.

Oh, I see...I’m sorry. Did...did Uncle tell you why you’re coming to get me?

Only that you had gotten upset and run away. Come, we can talk as we walk.

If you don’t mind, I’d like to hear the whole story from you.

Not at all. A bit confused, perhaps, but not at all angry.

Oh, maybe I can help clear up any confusion you have so far!

Only as to why you settled on jello. But please, continue.

Not angry, no. Though I think you should have listened to your grandmother.

I see. I agree, what your uncle did to you was wrong. But I think he did it for the right reasons.

What reasons? All I wanted to do was bring joy to people through jello...I really don’t see what bad that could bring.

It wasn’t because of anything you did. This is going to sound hard to believe, but that ring was dangerous, my prince.

...It was? How so?

Don’t you think it’s odd that you miss it so much even though you had it for so short a time?

Well...I mean it was a gift..I.. you’re probably right. Mr. Annatar’s eyes did glow a little yellow when we hugged...

Tell me, do you know the story of the Great Rings?

Is that the story from the Second Age? When Annatar made nine rings for men that turned into the Nazgul, and Seven rings for the Dwarves that were lost because dwarves are clumsy, Three rings for the elves who were too smart for Sauron, and the One Ring for stinky face himself?

Yes, it is. But Annatar did not make the rings himself—he tricked the Elven-smiths into making them. Except the Three, which were made in secret, and the One, which he did make. But Eldarion, answer me this: why would the One Ring only obey Sauron, and not its maker?

Because Sauron put a little of himself into each ring?

No. Because Sauron and Annatar are one and the same. The One Ring obeyed Sauron because he created it. And thus was he able to control the Seven and the Nine: through deception, he gained the favor of the Elves.

I don’t know, Eldarion. And yes, I admit that they do seem to be separate people at the moment. But I think perhaps you should learn to be more cautious about people. You look for the good in everyone, and it does you credit. But not everyone is as nice as they appear.

It’s nice to see you, as well. *smiles and ruffles his hair*
